Built around the u-blox ZED-F9R module, it fuses GNSS measurements with an integrated 3D IMU (accelerometer and gyroscope), wheel ticks, and a vehicle dynamics model to maintain accurate positioning even under poor signal conditions. The 184-channel ZED-F9R receives GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou signals on L1 and L2 bands, achieving 10 mm horizontal accuracy with RTK corrections. Position updates run at up to 30 Hz, and dead reckoning maintains continuous positioning through tunnels, parking garages, and urban canyons where satellite signals are blocked or degraded. Pre-soldered headers allow the pHAT to stack directly onto a Raspberry Pi or any single-board computer with a 2×20 GPIO header (including NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Google Coral). Communication uses the Pi's serial UART by default. A Qwiic (I²C) connector and additional 2.54 mm breakout pins are also available. Key Features u-blox ZED-F9R Module – 184-channel multi-constellation GNSS receiver with integrated 3D IMU for dead reckoning 10 mm RTK Accuracy – Centimetre-level horizontal positioning with correction data (rover only; requires base station) Dead Reckoning – Continuous positioning through signal loss using sensor fusion 30 Hz Navigation Rate – High-rate position updates for real-time applications Dual-Band Reception – L1C/A and L2C for improved accuracy and faster convergence Pre-Soldered Headers – No soldering required; stacks directly onto the Pi GPIO header Onboard RTC Battery – Reduces time-to-first-fix from ~24 s (cold) to ~2 s (hot start) U.FL Antenna Connector – Use with an external active GNSS antenna Qwiic Connector – I²C interface for additional peripherals Specifications Constellations – GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou (concurrent) Horizontal Accuracy – 10 mm with RTK Velocity Accuracy – 0.5 m/s Heading Accuracy – 0.2° Time Pulse Accuracy – 30 ns Max Navigation Rate – 30 Hz Operational Limits – ≤ 4 G, 80 km altitude, 500 m/s velocity Protocols – NMEA, UBX, and RTCM over UART Voltage – 5 V or 3.3 V (all logic is 3.3 V) Current Draw – ~85–130 mA (varies with constellation tracking) Board Dimensions – 65.0 × 56.5 mm Weight – 20.7 g Software Features Configurable via u-blox u-center (Windows) Geofencing, odometer, and spoofing detection External interrupt and pin control Low power mode Ideal For Autonomous robotics and vehicle navigation Precision positioning in urban environments Fleet tracking with dead reckoning through tunnels and covered areas Raspberry Pi-based GNSS data logging Important: An external GNSS antenna with U.FL connector is required (not included). The ZED-F9R operates as a rover only — a base station or correction service is needed for RTK accuracy.
